Cairo Running?
Down 6-0, Miguel Cairo steals a base. What are the Yankees thinking? They can't afford to lose a baserunner at this point!
Luckily, he picked a good pitch to run on, and Jeter follows with a single to drive him in (Manny not being able to pick up the ball helps). Jeter on first, 1 out. Time for the big hitters to earn their pay.
Update: A-Rod manages a weak bouncer to the pitcher. At least he moved the runner! Is that a productive out?
Update: Sheffield at least hits a bullet, but it's right at Mueller. To the 4th, with the Red Sox up 6-1.
The Yankees might be thinking that Derek Lowe watch 1st base carefully. They're right. He doesn't.
Is there a website with odds for coming back from a deficit in a baseball game? For instance, coming back from an 8-1 deficit in the 4th inning.
You looking to place some bets? ;-)
Given lowe's ground ball bias, they might want to avoid double plays. It isn't like the red sox are fantastic at stopping runners.
No bets. Just curious. Also, surprised the Fox announcers aren't trying to hype up a Yankee comeback.
